From the stage of a theater, the angle of elevation to the first balcony is 19 degrees. The angle of elevation to the second balcony, 6.3 meters directly above the first, is 29 degrees. How high above stage level is the first balcony, to the nearest tenth of a meter

Answer:

10.3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Triangle ABC

[tex]\tan 29^\circ =\dfrac{6.3+x}{h} \\h \tan 29^\circ=6.3+x\\h=\dfrac{6.3+x}{\tan 29^\circ}[/tex]

From Triangle ADC

[tex]\tan 19^\circ =\dfrac{x}{h} \\h \tan 19^\circ=x\\h=\dfrac{x}{\tan 19^\circ}[/tex]

Since the values of h are the same

[tex]\dfrac{x}{\tan 19^\circ}=\dfrac{6.3+x}{\tan 29^\circ}\\\\x\tan 29^\circ=\tan 19^\circ(6.3+x)\\x\tan 29^\circ=6.3\tan 19^\circ+x\tan 19^\circ\\x\tan 29^\circ-x\tan 19^\circ=6.3\tan 19^\circ\\x(\tan 29^\circ-\tan 19^\circ)=6.3\tan 19^\circ\\x=\dfrac{6.3\tan 19^\circ}{\tan 29^\circ-\tan 19^\circ} \\x=10.3$ meters (to the nearest tenth of a meter)[/tex]

The height of the first balcony above stage level is 10.3 meters.
